This may not be the best place to ask, but I’m wondering why “the criteria for earning-to-give” includes “>=$60K annual income”? To me, that seems to be a high minimum that would exclude many who are (at least in their own minds) E2G.
The income cutoff is ultimately arbitrary and shouldn’t be thought of as a hard line, where someone earning $59.99K is definitely not ETG and someone earning $60.00K definitely is. But I do think there has to be a cutoff somewhere, as it’s supposed to be about taking a “high earning” job.
I don’t mean to suggest that people who are in, e.g., $45K/yr jobs dutifully donating 10% aren’t important, of course. The $4.5K/yr still makes a big difference—probably saving at least one life a year!

I normally define it as someone who deliberately sought high-er earning work in order to donate more, rather than high earning absolutely.
